The high school PARADE All-American and three-time Gatorade Player of the Year in the District of Columbia (2005, 2006, 2007) finished her high school career at St. John’s College as the all-time leading scorer in goals (191) and assists (74). McCarty’s 191 goals broke the Washington Metro area scoring record held by former University of North Carolina All-American Laurie Schwoy.

With soccer, it is important to note that only players with significant high school experience were considered by ESPN. Many of the nation’s top high school-aged girls’ players often skip high school soccer to train with elite clubs or participate in U.S. Soccer international events, thus rendering them ineligible for high school all-decade consideration.
